"My college lectures are colloquial, familiar, full of anecdote,
and often humorous; they are purposely made so, to suit the
occasion. At the end of the week I meet the students, and find them
weary . . . and only in a condition to receive something which will
attract and secure their attention, and fire their hearts."
Though best remembered as the most popular preacher of the
Victorian era, C. H. Spurgeon was also founder and president of the
Pastor's College in London. He supervised the training of over 800
students, presided at an annual conference for ministers, and, on
Friday afternoons, delivered regular lectures on every aspect of
pulpit ministry.
Featuring such gems as "The Minister's Fainting Fits"; "Posture,
Action, Gesture, etc."; and "On the Choice of a Text," this
unabridged edition of 28 of Spurgeon's classroom discourses on
homiletics overflows with practical wisdom, discerning wit, and
sage advice. Covering the call, open-air preaching, ordinary
conversations, using illustrations, and conduct outside the church,
Spurgeon's words are as rich and nourishing for pastors and
students today as they were more than a century ago.
CHAPTERS INCLUDE
- The Minister's Self-Watch
- Our Public Prayer
- On Spiritualizing
- The Blind Eye and the Deaf Ear
- On Conversion as Our Aim
- The Sciences as Sources of Illustration
An excellent and useful gift for pastors and seminary students,
church history enthusiasts, and even collectors and readers of
classic Victorian literature.

Farm Sermons are lessons learned from scripture dealing with the
land. "Farmers are as plentiful as ever, and discourses, designed
for them will find hearers if they deserve them. "It is fit that
farmers should have sermons gathered out of their own occupation,
for it is one which, above all others, abounds in holy teaching;
and, as it would be ill for dwellers in the Indies to go from home
for gold and spices, so would it be unwise to leave the field and
the plough in search of instruction. He who dwells at Newcastle
wastes time when he goes far for coals; he who lives by the labour
of the field will be foolish if he neglects the teaching of nature
for the most glittering philosophy. Some of the mightiest of
prophets and preachers came from the plough, and surely that must
be a good college which has furnished such able divines. As all the
world is fed by the produce of the farm, so may all men's minds
find food in meditating upon the ways of God in nature and
providence, as seen by the husbandman. Hence we have sought LESSONS
FROM THE ACRES."
Tens of thousands of Christians have gotten up and gone to bed with

and thirty two devotions. One for each morning and each evening.
These devotions will guide you in a closer walk with God, helping
you find a focus for each day.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,

GOD'S WILL, MAN'S WILL, AND FREE WILL Is it possible for a creature
to have a free will and to continually exercise that will in
complete conformity to the will of God? Yes Are the creatures who
thus conform their wills continually to the will of God in
servitude? Are they slaves? Yes If God plans, fore-determines and
predestinates each and every deed of a man's life, powerfully
controlling all circumstances, all persons, even all forces of
whatever variety and magnitude that affects his life, can that one
be free? Yes In this little book the large subject of God's Will,
Man's Will, and Free will is keenly examined by five different
authors who make use of the Holy Scriptures to answer the multitude
of questions, and of objections to what is written HORATIUS BONAR
notes three things about men without Christ: 1. Their souls are not
at rest. 2. Their conscience is not at work. And, 3. They do not
tremble at the Word of God. The Lord has spoken. There is no room
to question when His voice is heard. JONATHAN EDWARDS notes that
God is the Supreme Orderer of all things, but that His ordering of
all things (His orderings of the heart and fixing the steps of a
man - Proverbs 16:1, 9) does not interfere with a man's ability to
choose. C. H. SPURGEON notes that men will not come to Christ that
they might have LIFE because they are dead in trespasses and sin.
Can there be a soul that will not become wiser from these
discussions? Edwards (1703-1758) is by far the best known American
theologian. After graduating from and teaching at Yale University,
he began a very fruitful ministry at Northampton, MA. The church
was the scene of the explosive revival of 1734, 35, and burned
fiercely for Godunder Edwards for several years. Edwards then went
to pastor the lowly Indians. But at last he was called to be the
first president of Princeton University, where he served only 5
weeks, dying of smallpox. C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) was not only
the famed preacher for whom The Metropolitan Tabernacle was built,
but he wrote a host of books, published a magazine, was a
colporteur, was an expositor, etc. Horatius Bonar (1809-1899) was a
Presbyterian minister in Scotland and the author of many excellent
books of much practical value. Jay P. Green, Sr. (1918-) is
Translator and Editor of The Interlinear Hebrew-Greek-English Bible
and the translator of the Modern King James Version of the Holy
Bible, The Teenage Version of the Holy Bible, and the Literal
translation of the Holy Bible. He has written numerous books on
textual criticism.
